My little girl is 6 months on Sunday and she will not nap for longer than half an hour at a time in the day unless on me. I’ve tried dark room, putting down asleep/awake/drowsy, putting in next to me to nap - she just wakes up after half an hour unless she’s on me! I love it, but it can’t last forever soooo…

Some babies don’t need to take long naps, my baby only naps for 30/40 minutes a time too x

No tips but my son only has 3 or 4 15-20 min naps during the day and sleep between 10-12 hours a night x

SAME. And he needs more sleep that 30 mins, it’s definitely not enough for him! Apparently as they get older they will eventually learn to connect sleep cycles, so I keep trying him in the next to me and praying he will eventually have a long nap in there!

I think it’s very normal. Most of my girls naps are 30 mins then every few days she will do one long one xx

Thank you! She also struggles to stay awake after 6pm so this is probably why xxx

My baby is only sleeping 30 mins too ☺️ but she had a 1 hour sleep earlier when I took her for a walk, she randomly does it where she sleeps longer here and there! I think sometimes changing it up may help I don’t know 🤷♀️☺️.

Have you tried leaving her to settle back to sleep for like 15/20 minutes? My little lad wakes after 30 minutes but if left to settle he will go back to sleep for an hour

no I will try xxx

The only issue is she wakes up early every morning , between 4-6am and goes to sleep early between 5-7pm and I can’t get her out of this I’m sure it’s because of the naps!

The early wake ups was an issue here too for a bit and I pushed bedtime later because my little one only needed like 10/11 hours sleep so a 7pm bedtime he was always gonna wake ealry in the morning. I pushed the first nap back later and then added an extra cat nap for about a week and then the new routine managed to click. But yeah with the short naps if she can settle herself to sleep I would leave her and see if she goes back to sleep

Yeah okay, what time is bedtime now xx

anywhere between 8:30 and 9 xx
